The Giants' Graves are two chambered Neolithic tombs located in a forest clearing overlooking Whiting Bay. Sadly, the cairn has been ransacked over the years and the remains are now covered with grass and bracken. Despite this, human bones, pottery, flint knives and arrowheads have been found and it is an atmospheric place.
